Dari sanalah terbaca info yang tidak terlalu sering diketahui, seperti kedekatan Teguh Santosa dengan dunia ketoprak, sebagai bidang kerja artistik ayahandanya, Soemarmo Adji, yang ternyata merupakan pembentuk bagi kecenderungan naratif berlatar sejarah. (Teguh Santosa Sepanjang Zaman, Kata Pengantar Seno Gumira Ajidarma)Tentang Teguh SantosaKomikus Teguh Santosa lahir di Malang, 1 Februari 1942. Dari ayahnya Soemarmo Adji dan ibunya Lasiyem bakat seni menetes dalam darahnya. Kedua orang tuanya adalahpemilik group kesenian ketoprak tobong “ Krido Sworo” pada waktu itu. Ayahnya pula yang berperan sebagai pelukis “tonil” panggung ketoprak, sedangkan ibunya adalah pemain ketoprak. Menamatkan pendidikannya di SD Kauman, SMP 2, SMA 4 Malang dan belajar melukis secara otodidak. Tahun 1966 hijrah ke Yogya bergabung dengan Sanggar Bambu ia berguru pada Kentardjo, Soenarto PR dan sastrawan Kirdjomulyo pada waktu itu.Sebelum jadi komikus, Teguh pernah bekerja sebagai illustrator di majalah mingguan. Rintisan karirnya telah dimulai sejak SMP kelas 2. Saat itu ia banyak melihat karya illustrator di majalah “Terang Bulan” dan majalah luar negeri. Sejak itu pula keinginan menjadi illustrator makin kuat. Perkenalannya dengan orang-orang media mengantarkan karya ilustrasinya menghiasi majalah Gelora, Si Kuntjung, dan Post Minggu.Dalam proses awalnya Teguh mengaku terpengaruh gaya ilustrasi Ekayana Siswoyo dan NasjahDjamin, sampai akhirnya dari proses waktu ke waktu ia temukan gaya sendiri. Lebih dari seratus judul komik telah ia garap. Beberapa diantaranya menggarap naskah SH Mintardja, Kho Ping Ho, RA Kosasih, Arswendo Atmowiloto.Di era 70-an karya komik roman sejarahnya “Sandhora” telah menempatkan namanya dalam jajaran komikus papan atas di Indonesia. Website komikindonesia.com mencatat 86 judul karya komiknya. Mencari Mayat Mat Pelor, Mat Romeo, Tambusa, trilogi Badai dan Asmara di Teluk Tiram, Kraman, Sang Nagasasra, Kuil Loncatan Setan, The Godfather 1800, El Maut di Mata Dewa, Tragedi Dua Asmarawan, Satria Kilat Kejora, Istana Darah, Gitanjali, Anyer Panarukan, Cokro Manggilingan, Suling Perak Naga Iblis, Gerombolan Barong Mataram, Pendekar Pilihan Dewa, Majapahit Membara adalah sebagian dari judul komik karya Teguh Santosa. Teguh pun terus bergerilya bersama teman-teman seperjuangannya Jan Mintaraga, Ganes TH, Djair, Wid NS, Hasmi, terus memanjakan penggemarnya.Tanpa disadari lewat karya-karyanya Teguh telah memberi satu citra kuat terhadap komiknya saat itu.
